I hear you all shout), I have missed Roy's offer to contribute to a QL2000 show. Can someone copy me the details? Although I attended QL2000 in Portsmouth, I was not involved in any way with its organisation. What do members want from such a show? I am sure that something unusual can be put together. Fill me in with the details guys. Perhaps we could plan something along with our current planning for the AGM in Manchester in April 2004. Nemqlug (North East Manchester QL User Group) meet in about a week's time and this is on our agenda. Give us something to get our teeth into. John Gilpin. Quanta Treasurer. and Nemqlug co-ordinator.
